L'Chaim / L'Chaos: 50 Years of Jewish Punk

From the genre’s explosive emergence in the mid-1970s to its contemporary incarnations, figures with Jewish roots have been present at pivotal moments in punk history.

This one-off event brings together some of those key voices alongside forever-punk Mark Jay and music historian Alain Dein to trace a neon thread through five decades of rebellion and reinvention.

In true punk spirit, expect a cut-and-paste happening: live interviews, DJ sets, a photo exhibition, book launch, poetry, film, and a very special punk play.
